Comes the rain today, finally!
DH and I mowed the north pasture yesterday. Day before I had chopped down saplings along the fenceline, and we transported them and the bigger limbs to the burn pile in the north pasture which took 2 hours.
I Don't care that the weather report said that the heat/humidity broke last Friday, it was Hot and Humid!
So, it took me a few hours inside in the AC to recover. When I went out again I was only going to chop down for about 30 minutes, but, my neighbor (who I really haven't known very well, despite the fact that that his family has lived here about 20 years,) asked me if I needed some help cutting.
ABSOLUTELY!
DH and I left for dinner with DD's, came back and he and his son and friends had taken down Almost every volunteer tree on the north pasture's north fence with their chainsaws, All of the trees from the corner south to the gate, and a few others AND they had chopped down the burdock along the fenceline with string trimmers!!!!!
I went out earlier this afternoon, drove right along the north fenceline, stopping to uncurl any bindweed growing along the fenceline, tossing it in my tow wagon to dump in the burn pile, picked up the stray pieces between the fencing and the street, and finished mowing the freed up grass that had been under these volunteer trees, there and between the east fencing and the street.
There are only 2 trees left to move and SIL said he would saw them down on the 4th for me.
Rain is expected tonight, but by Tuesday I should be able to take my backpack sprayer and hit ALL of the fencelines that had volunteer trees and burdock and bindweed and other weeds to stop them from growing back while my left knee is healing.
I am about to make a double batch of brownies as a thank you for them.
. But, my years spent working in a greenhouse and the many hours in a large cooler during other years, suggests that my naturally curly hair had that Snoopy experience more than once
